      I wish there was more TV like this

      I love their friendship and the jokes are funny and if you are a local, there is a LOT of inside jokes and celebs. Kinda like a love letter to the good parts of Detrizzle. I could deal with a couple of more seasons of this show. I wish them luck in future projects. They did a good job with this show.

      Upbeat and Hilarious

      I don't know how this would play if I didn't come from Detroit, but I do, and I love the many references to Detroit culture: Mort Crim, Vernors, Detroit R&B and Soul Music... The entire cast is terrific but Sam Richardson is one of those brilliant comic actors that comes along every once and awhile, like Pryor and Murphy, who have have instinctive comic timing and charm. He's instantly lovable even while his character is displaying less than a admirable behavior.

      This show has its own quirky pacing and self awareness that makes it distinctly it's own. I hope people discover it. It's a perfect little comic gem.

      One of the funniest and most clever shows on TV

      I LOVE this show. The writing is extremely clever and funny. The relationship between the two lead guys is truly believable. I've worked at a small ad agency, and they get much of the feel of doing local work, although the work seems to be remeniscent I'd what an agency would do in the 80s rather than today. Still, the writing and characters are incredible, and the story arcs that bring clients and others across episodes in hilarious ways shows the level of thought the writers are putting in. It's a great half hour to let loose and enjoy.

      Netflix please pick this up

      This show is simply delightful. A show about two lovable small time Ad men who are lack any self-awareness makes for memorable moments and plenty of laughs. I rarely find myself laughing out loud at show but this show seems to offer this every episode with the absurd jokes and pitches to potential clients. The show feels very authentic and you can absolutely believe these two characters could exist in real life and I genuinely hope that they do. Hilarious writing and the chemistry is amazing. This show just makes you feel good and one can only aspire to have a friendship and love like Tim and Sam. Please bring this show back, it truly is a gem.

      Heartbroken that they only made 2 seasons

      This show is hysterical.

      Two failing Detroit ad-men try to sustain their fathers' ad company, with hilarious results. Sam Richardson is great. I'm broken-hearted that they only made 2 seasons. I've watched and re-watched it many times.
